Bound to be a hit with contemporary art fans, the Altermodern exhibition at Tate Britain showcases the work of groundbreaking artists. From stunning installations, video and film works to photography and painting, the Altermodern exhibition is a multi media show compiled by the respected curator Nicolas Bourriaud.

Altermodern exhibition at Tate Britain
With contributions from a long list of artist including Nathaniel Mellors, Tacita Dean, Marcus Coates and Bob and Roberta Smith, the Altermodern exhibition at Tate Britain showcases the work of some of the best creative talent working in Britain today. A real treat for those who appreciate art, many of the pieces on display have never been seen in public before.

New artistic movement
Curated by Nicolas Bourriaud as part of the fourth Tate Triennial, the Altermodern exhibition at Tate Britain explores the themes of global culture and identity. Bourriaud argues that these alternative modern preoccupations are a distinct step away from postmodernism, and as such define a new artistic movement, altermodern. Regardless of whether or not this definition will take hold and become established as a concept and word we all use and understand, you can head to Tate Britain and make you mind up for yourself while the show is open.

Audio tour
As an added bonus to the Tate Triennial show, there is a free audio guide to take you round the Altermodern exhibition with a suitably atmospheric soundtrack. Fusing jazz and hip hop music with vocal and narrative layers, the sonic trail is a unique and innovative way to experience the exhibition.
